My favourite slingshot is one I made out of 2 eye bolts and a small piece of 20mm box steel. And a heap of duct tape. It doesn't look pretty but I've took hundreds of pigeons out with it. You're bang on the money there. Cannot buy accuracy, its learned and earned. Great info John.good man
At the start of the video I thought you'd conclude that the custom made catapult would be the more accurate one, as this would help your online business. How wrong was I :) Fair play John for your honesty. All the best!
The guy that tells you expensive frames are more accurate are usually trying to sell you something you do not need. Simple fact, the frame does nothing more than hold the bands as long as it fits the shooter. The rest is up to the shooter. PERIOD. Good on you John for not being the guy that lets his wallet infringe on his integrity. You are a rare breed, well done mate.
That's very honest and honourable not pushing your catty onto potential newcomers that watch this video and just plain state that its the shooter not necessarily the equipment. Liking your chanel more john. I have just got into catapults/slingshot and am practising to oneday compete alongside you and fellow shooters.
I started getting into catapults recently and all 3 of my starter frames were ott gypsy style catapults and I had the technique down but I could never find a good reference point to hit the target consistently so I decided to treat myself to the ppmg to see if I would have any luck shooting ttf and on the first 10 shots with it I hit the spinner 8/10 times. it’s definitely just finding a frame that suits the shooter whether it be cheap or expensive it doesn’t matter, great vids John big fan 👍
My advice is practice on a cheap one, then buy a PPSG or a PPMG as you don't want to have fork hit marks on your expensive slingshot. If you decide you want to sell your expensive slingshot you will get near on as much as you paid for it, providing there are no fork hit marks. If you watch the video on here where they are made, (Peter Hogans castings) you will then appreciate how much work goes into making one these brilliant slingshots.
Ahahah spot on mate!! The biggest difference is in our head, the only way to buy accuracy is by training!! Although I also sofer of " good looking" Slingshot desease... Is what I say to myself every time I buy a new catty " this one will make me better!!" I know Im shetting myself lol
Well spoken John, you are far more honest than some of your American competitors. Personally I'd always choose the natural fork over the fancy metal fork
Nice honest video, in west midlands any old school midnight walkers (moochers) will tell ya , you can shot any natty with experience. Wood natty is easy to replace if you need to get rid off sharpish like. A wood natty can take out most targets depending on target area regardless of ammo, bands,chains or tubes.
Yes John, but you could shoot with 2 matches and a hair band and a plastic BB and still hit the can, l need all the help I can get, hence I've purchased one of your PPSG ,
Interesting test. I would love to see it done on something a little harder to hit. Maybe pencils, cards, bottle caps or something similar. I would think the improved ergonomics would make it a lot more consistent and definitely more precise. If only because you hand is in the same place every time and you can focus just on the target. Cool vid though! Josh
So that one you made out of the stick do you use that all the time? Or do you have a preferred one that you have bought that you rather use? Myself I'd rather buy one that's decent compact and with a little ass behind it. even though you get the same accuracy out of both. but like you said each to his own whenever someone feels comfortable with I guess
How r u so accurate. I try to do your aiming method but I still can't hit a can from 5 meters away I've been practicing for a week. I think I'm doing it wrong.
I made a natural and had loads of game with it then I bought a gamekepper and had nothing with it in 2 weeks so I went back to my natural and got more game

Love the honesty... especially when you could've taken advantage of the situation to sell your own customs!!!

Thank you for your important lesson. You are indead a truly honest teacher. I have learned alot from your videos. Thank you

Hi John.
Nice shooting. Could you do a bit on how to band up a natural fork please?
Thanks brother
Rob 👍

Great video John!! Very true.
Hey guys favourite forum on tapatalk
Thanks Jamie! :)

Llf brilliant comment has me in stitches llf roflmao
👍👍👍😜🦄🏴🎣😁🤞✌️
Ps I think your correct with the matches lol 😂
Certainly you are ''the man behind the frame who counts'' Master catapul sniper ! :-)
It's man behind the gu .... errr ..... catapult, John 😄👍
hello .. may I know how did you install the band's on the TTF natural fork?
great vid, but I love great looking cats, there is a beauty to fine wood craft and different breeds, you've made some absolute stunners
I've been dipping back into my old favourite videos just lately! This lad has taught me so much over the last ten years and I've never met him! 👍💥🎯
Big big respect Sir.
I second this comment to
👍👍👍😜🦄🏴🎣😁🤞✌️
Nice one mate really getting into this!!

The slingshot its self doesn't matter as long as the frame is sturdy and the bands are well attached!
0:16 the iron one is the best design to hold, aim and best smooth I like it so much, how I can buy that one?
Couldn't say it better. Good shooting tho 👌
Well said.
U can buy ergonomic design, comfort, durable material...but not accuracy
So that one you made out of the stick do you use that all the time? Or do you have a preferred one that you have bought that you rather use? Myself I'd rather buy one that's decent compact and with a little ass behind it. even though you get the same accuracy out of both. but like you said each to his own whenever someone feels comfortable with I guess
Very isnpiration thanks sir
u got that all right sir !!! 🎯👍🏼🎯👍🏼🎯👍🏼 insteed of they r trying to sell their product, not to sell the 'accuracy'.
#DISAGREETODISAGREE
How r u so accurate. I try to do your aiming method but I still can't hit a can from 5 meters away I've been practicing for a week. I think I'm doing it wrong.
Very nice shot, I ordered aluminium gamekeeper, I wan to ask you, what tape is it on holder?
I think it's like a cloth wrap bro
Are double bands better for squirrel hunting than single bands?
I made a natural and had loads of game with it then I bought a gamekepper and had nothing with it in 2 weeks so I went back to my natural and got more game
You just need more practise with new one mate
👍👍👍😜🦄🏴🎣😁🤞✌️
I think the only difference is the comfort of using a quality catty for long periods...
Can you test 4mm square black for speed please
John, you shoot what I call left handed. Are you a lefty?
jeff smith I shoot the same way and I’m a righty
If your bands are even and your forks are even, then you own the worlds most accurate catapult.
TTF over OTT anyday for me.
Maybe not accuracy for the better shooter. But it can buy ergonomics which helps a newer shooter.
Jake S I think that the most comfortable frame that I have used is a natural.
James Booth that confused me for far longer than it should have... I was trying to remember writing this post.. perhaps in a drunken haze
HA HA OMG this is so weird maybe wer'e somehow related !
Jake S good
Honest lad
good
A proper job.
Hi sorry for my English i m italian....where i can Buy a elastic tetraband
+lq LQ what s Shop?
Lorenzo Ferdinandi a p l a c e t h a t s e l l s t h i n g s
Lorenzo Ferdinandi Online mate.
Ebay has most things
The shooter is very good....
Should I shoot with one eye closed or both open?
Mostly it's just personal preference. I shoot with my right eye closed.
Both shut. Lol............
@@bwghall1 llf
Idk why its called catapults this would’ve been useful but it didnt show up when I’d search up slingshots
RIGHT
This was published on June 2nd and today is June 2nd dope
How many years ago?
Dan Mahoney 5 but it was still a coincidence
Just saying you can buy sights for sling shots
Learn to shoot without sights and the frame truly does not matter as long as it is comfortable in your hand.
S
Yep!u could buy a very expensive ss but it's useless if ur shooting skills sucks!
